The Radio Dept: Lost and Found (Live)
Radio Dept is a cornerstone band off of the fantastic Swedish label, Labrador. In 2010, Radio Dept put out a very well received dream pop/shoe-gaze-ish album in Clinging to a Scheme (More...)
Chairlift: Take It Out On Me (Live)
Chairlift is a Colorado sourced outfit that relocated to Brooklyn several years ago. As has been noted here a time or two, any Male/Female vocal pairing, ala Human League, is almost always a good idea particularly with a synth-pop new wave type sound as Chairlift has, but is one that is effectively exploited.

The Monday Set: Scissor Sisters – New York City – 8/25/10
Scissor Sisters recently returned from a minor hiatus with a new album call "Night Work". Apparently the album was created after the band scrapped 18 months of songwriting for the follow up to 2006's "Ta-Dah". I'm not sure what the album was originally supposed to sound like, but I have to say I'm pretty sure that the wait was worth it. (More...)
Bad Religion: Requiem of Dissent, Avalon (Live) Pt 3/3
Bad Religion, while in New York took a break from their Dissent support tour, and played three special New York only shows - each dedicated to a different decade in Bad Religion's career, hence TSOI's special three part series. (More...)
Bad Religion: Flat Earth Society, Generator (Live) Pt 2/3
Bad Religion presumably had to relearn dozens of songs for these one-off shows, in particular during the 80s show where many of the songs clock in under two minutes all while supporting a new record. They did deviate from the featured decade sets by including some hits from other decades as well as selections from the new record. (More...)
Bad Religion: Latch Key Kid, Big Bang (Live) Pt 1/3
Bad Religion, the California pop-punk band, released Dissent of Man, their 100th Album (kidding, sort of) this year. This being 2010, and since How Could Hell Be Any Worse was released in 1980, that means the Bad Religion have been active for three solid decades. (More...)
The Futureheads: Struck Dumb, Jupiter (Live)
Some people will go "Woooo!" to anything at a concert. No matter what show I'm at, there's always a portion of the crowd who came there seemingly just for the chance to yell "Woooo!" at every opportunity . I don't even think they know or care who's playing. Case in point is this here Futureheads' concert I attended last summer. (More...)
The Monday Set: Los Cincos – Los Angeles – 12/4/95
After the split of seminal hardcore band Honeywell, 2 members went on to form One Eyed Richard and The Goddamn Liars. After one 12" release, One Eyed Richard changed their name to the moniker Los Cincos and continued to put out releases for the next 5 years. This recording has a couple tracks from the early One Eyed Richard days (More...)
Bikini Kill: George Bush Is No Hero (Live Video)
If you have read Sara Marcus's book "Girls To The Front" she refers to Bikini Kill throughout and this show specifically. One of 15 acts to play that night, Bikini Kill from all accounts, wowed the huge crowd. I saw them a few years after this show at a club in Minnesota. (More...)
Bratmobile: Cherry Bomb (Live Video)
It's day 2 of Riot Grrrl week here at TSOI and it's a good one. Bratmobile were one of the very few bands that I always wanted to see but never had the opportunity. Truth be told, I was a bigger Cold Cold Hearts and The Peechees fan. (More...)
